ith far less national debate than was once expected - or perhaps is healthy for such a historic decision - the Senate re-cently approved adding three countries to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The 80-19 vote to bring Poland, Hungry, and the Czech Republic into NATO Was politically painless: eth-nic voters were overwhelm-in8*y in favor, and generic Votes ignored squishy cost Projections. Even Russia Ruffled its earlier growling. ut the easy first round of ATO expansion will only make the next round harder.
Nine more countries are already pushing to get in: l°venia, Romania, and the altic States (Latvia, Esto-nia> and Lithuania) are ought to be serious confers. So the United States a°d its allies now face a Quandary: Advancing NATO 0 the very borders of Russia n°u*d deeply antagonize the Ussian government and e°ple; but stopping the ex-. ar|sion process now, ledvic the Baltic and much of astern Europe out in the ^°ld, would demonstratively Urrcnder those countries to ussia s sphere of influence.

One major unresolved question about NATO expansion is its cost. As the Senate debate revealed, no one knows how much U.S. taxpayers will have to pay: Estimates for this round ranged from $400 million over 10 years to $19 billion over 15 years.
Russia has officially opposed any expansion of NATO, but its reaction was muted - this time. Russian President Boris Yeltsin has most vociferously opposed NATO inclusion of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, which were occupied by the Soviet Union from before World War II until 1991. Russia’s response to “losing” the Baltics could be to withhold cooperation on arms control and such issues as sanctions on Iraq and curbing the sale of missile technology to Iran.
Conservatives in Moscow have already delayed the ratification of the START II nuclear arms reduction treaty, partly out of anger at NATO expansion, even though Russia cannot afford
to maintain its current, vast stockpile of nuclear weapons. Russian military thinkers say that NATO expansion will encourage the Kremlin to place greater reliance on nuclear weapons, including those loaded onto shorter-range tactical missiles.
That kind of backsliding could become especially risky in the case of the Baltics because, Western military analysts say, NATO could only make its security guarantee to them credible by positioning nuclear weapons there - right on Russia’s borders. It is this kind of scenario that has prompted Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York to warn that pursing NATO expansion over Russian objections could increase the chances of nuclear war.

Šmarnica in Fontana
outhem California Slovenians and friends attended the Devotions to Blessed Mary - Mass and Benediction - at St. Joseph’s Church, 17080 Arrow Blvd., Fontana, California, at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, the 3r<J of May. Father Timothy Jernejčič of St. Edwards Church, Corona, celebrated Mass.
As Father Jernejčič said, this Šmarnica was dedicated in memory of the late Fr. Joseph Snoj and Father Stanley Jazbec who had for many years led the Slovenian Devotions to our Blessed Mother. Father Jernejčič spoke of our Blessed Mother’s devotion to Jesus. He enjoined us to have love for family and others.
Again, Ida Stone assisted
by her husband, Randy, served a delicious Slovenian dinner. Father Jernejčič has made reservations for next year’s Šmarnica for the first Sunday in May at St. Joseph’s. Please reserve this date, May 2,1999.
We are indebted to many persons for their contributions, Father Timothy for continuing the Devotions to our Blessed Mother and for donations to the Bishops Baraga and Slomšek causes.
Mrs. Stmad of Fontana played the organ in accompaniment to the Slovenian Litanies led by Mrs. Petrie. Then after dinner, led by Roman Racic and Mrs. Lipic, the assembly sang song after song of old Slovenian melodies to end our memorable day.

1 ather Justin Pierce
Celebrates 50 Years
Father Justin A. Pierce, SDS (Anthony J. Pirc) is celebrating the Golden Jubilee of his priestly ordination on June 4 at Silver Lake College, Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Father Justin graduated from Collinwood High School in Cleveland in June 1937. He was a member of St. Mary’s (Collinwood) parish and is still a member of the parish’s KSKJ St. Helen Lodge No. 193. He was graduated from the Sal-vatorian Seminary in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin in June 1941. Father Justin entered the Society of the Divine Savior, the Salvatorians, in September of 1941.
After philosophical and theological studies at Divine Savior Seminary, Lanham, Maryland and The Catholic University in Washington, DC, he was ordained a priest on June 4, 1948 by Bishop Stanislaus Bona at St. Gregory Church, St. Nazianz.
Father Pierce continued his theological studies at the Catholic University and received a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL) in 1949. After two more years of study at The Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, he
was awarded a Licentiate in Sacred Scripture (L.S.S.).
Fr. Pierce returned to the States in 1951 and taught in seminaries in New Jersey, Wisconsin, and California. In 1970 he was elected Provincial Superior of the American Salvatorians and then, at the conclusion of his term of office, once again returned to teach at Silver* Lake College in 1982. There he remains active as chaplain and as a professor of Religious Studies and Scripture.
He has written scholarly articles on Scripture and Theological topics, assisted regularly at parishes on weekends. His service to St. Boniface, Manitowoc has been remarkably lengthy -25 years.
Father enjoys relatively good health and has no thought, at present, of retirement.
He plans an “Alleluia Celebration” at the Silver Lake College, Manitowoc, WI, on June 4*h and invites all those who have interacted with him and touched his life before or after his ordination to join him in a hymn of thanksgiving to God.

2 Jim’s Journal
By Jim Debevec
I’m glad it rained Sunday. I was beginning to feel like an Oakie. I sympathized with the characters in John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath.” Our yard was a dust bowl. I cut the grass Saturday and it caused the dry grass and soil to shoot 20 feet into the air. It was May, yet our grass was turning yellow and brown.
There was more dust than usual. The city ordered sewer pipes to be installed in everybody’s yard on our street. Each resident has a dirt patch going from the front yard to the street.
When installing the pipes, the engineers said, “The best thing that can happen is if it rains real hard for a long while.”
Sure enough, it rained for a week before they dug the trench. It rained while they dug our trench. As they completed the job and turned off the engine to the bobcat tractor, it stopped raining. It hadn’t rained one drop for five weeks!
They said don’t touch the ditch until it rains real hard. Well, they left behind all kind of tracks which hardened from the relentless sun. We now have numerous sink holes, permanent bobcat tracks, steam-shovel tracks, workers tracks, and Rigler’s moose tracks.
Anyhow, Sunday afternoon it rained hard for a little bit, now the earth in the ditch is supposed to settle. -Then we’re supposed to put some top soil on it. But the little rain didn’t do much good, and there you are -
right behind the eight ball.

Bob Debevec’s story last week about the primer on his B-17 airplane reminded me of my lawnmower. It must have been made by the same manufacturer. To get my lawn mower started, the instructions say to prime it five times. That’s nice; un-
fortunately it doesn’t work. You have to prime it 7 times to get the mower to kick over.
My previous mower was made by a Japanese firm. You didn’t have to prime it and it started on the first pull every time. Goes to show; How come the Japanese lost the war?
We buy their cars, their lawn mowers, their cameras their TVs, their computer chips, and watch their TV shows and movies. But guess what? Their economy is sinking.
Goes to show, the old prospector was right. You’ve got to have faith and prime the pump.

If you’ll excuse us for a moment, we’ve been distracted by a post card. It came from Tom Repensek and mailed from New York City.
He’s still trying to figure out what “Sniff the Breeze” means. He believes it’s similar to “Shoot the breeze.” From that he derives it to mean inhale the wind sparingly if it contains gunpowder, or when you speak, “Take it with a grain of salt.”
Come to think of it John Mercina never did give his explanation of what “Sniff the Breeze” means. However, I still think it means to act cautiously.
While we’re on the subject, a reader asked if we knew what a “Buffalo” is in reference to drinking. As we had no idea, he said that a “buffalo” is /2 gallon of wine or booze. So there you are, we learn something every day. The next time you’re at the Slovenian National Home feasting on Bob Hopkins genuine South Dakota grub, ask for a “buffalo” and see if Dale Lunder or John Leonard fill your order - or throw you out.

SLOVENIAN!
Editor,
I started to write this letter in response to John Mercina’s column “100 Words, More or Less,” p. 2 of the April 30 edition.
Having studied the Slovene language in the SIM school in Ljubljana in 1989, I thought I knew it all. When I saw the word “Britof’ -cemetery I remembered the teacher told me that it was a German word for cemetery (not Slovenian). Sure enough, when I checked the word for cemetery in the “Slovar” it was “pokopališče.” That’s when I felt pretty smug and decided that I would write this letter.
However, when I checked the first eight words listed in Mr. Mercina’s column (and whose translation in the column I agreed with) in the slovar, I found that all of the translations in the slovar
were different from that which I remembered as 3 child. (Although I was born and raised in the USA by Slovene parents, I only °n' derstood and spoke Slove* nian until I started school at age six!).
I finally concluded that, in their mission to produce a “pure” Slovenian language the academics changed a of the words that were use in every day Slovenian homes (kakor domač, reči). No wonder I had sue
a difficult time understan ing the written/spoken wor all of these years.
Thank you for your time and indulgence with my 6*

pressing long-suppres: thoughts. I didn’t know ther6 were that many Slovenian
Americans who were
posed to the same languag6 differences as I.

The ‘Hot Dog Place’ is the Place
“Slovenia and the Slavic 3 Nation” lecture in Euclid
By Rudy Flis
XX Tednesday,	this
%/%/ past week I had to
▼ T call on a customer •n Warren, Ohio. When I was finished, it was close to noon. Guess where I headed for lunch?
If you guessed “The Hot Dog Place,” you read my mind.
But this time, I sat at the counter and did all my consuming in the coolness of the restaurant. I had a two chili d°gs, smothered in chili sauce and onions and a chocolate shake wash. The guy next to me had two dogs and a chocolate shake, on my recommendations. He thoroughly enjoyed his tasty meal and drink.
Some of you might know this gentleman. He is Rev. George Balasko (Polka Priest). We didn’t meet by chance. We were there to c°ver some details on the
upcoming Polka Mass at “Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine” on Wednesday evening, June 17 at 5 p.m. The Shrine is on Chardon Road, in Euclid, Ohio.
Fr. George extends a warm invitation to you to be a part of the Polka Mass celebration at Mary’s shrine. The Orcades Band will supply the music of our heritage, the polka and the waltz, with the words to praise Our Lord with a happy beat.
Now back to The Hot Dog Place.
The restaurant was crowded, and people were in line, waiting for a seat when the slurp of our straws told us our shake was no longer in the cup. We left and went to my car. We finished our meeting and said good by.
On my way back to Cleveland, I realized 1 had lost a favorite waltz tape, probably in the parking lot. But the next day, with a phone call, 1 found out that
Fr. Balasko had accidentally scooped up my tape with his stuff and had absconded home with it. He is sending it back to me; he is an honorable man, plus he was the one who gave me the tape.
As I end this article, I realize I did not mention that Fr. George knows the owner of “The Hot Dog Place.” Who doesn’t Fr. George know?
When we are at the Polka Mass, singing the praises of the Lord, to the tunes our parents and grandparents might have brought to this great country from Europe, can’t you just see all of our folks around Jesus and Mary singing with us to them. How close I will be to my Mom and Dad, Aunts and Uncles, Brothers and Sisters. It will be spiritual communications, bom of love of Jesus, Mary and family.
See you there.

Slovenian Missionary Frederick Baraga
In honor of the 200* anniversary of the birth of the missionary and bishop Frederick Irenej Baraga, a special exhibition was held at the Slovene Religious museum at the Cistercian monastery in Stična entitled Friderik Irenej Baraga (1797-1868), Holiness in Action.
Fifteen panels presenting the life and work of Frederick Baraga in text and pictures were accompanied by original copies of Baraga’s books; some of his personal effects; handicrafts of the Ojibwa and Ottawa Native Americans loaned by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana including a pair of girl’s moccasins, a birch bark vessel for fruit and maple sugar, a basket, and a piece pipe a plaster cast of the bronze bust of Baraga by sculptor France Groše (1978) that stands in Trebnje; a reconstruction of a 19* century room; and part of the rich archives on Frederick Baraga and Slovenian emigrant publications in America.
Frederick Irenej Baraga was bom on June 29, 1798, in Mala vas near Dobrnič in Dolenjska. When he was two years old, his family moved to the castle in Trebnje. At the age of 10, he went to elementary school in Ljubljana, and from there to study law in Vienna.
The radical decision to study theology brought Baraga back to Ljubljana in 1821 after he had completed his law degree. Three years later, he took up his first post as chaplain in Šmartno near Kranj, and later he also served as chaplain in Metlika.
An excellent preacher, he won wide trust among his parishioners because of his personal modesty and readiness to help the poor. After several years, however his strong desire for missionary wprk led him far from Slovenia to the missions of North America.
The bishop of Ljubljana Anton Alojzij Wolf supported Baraga’s desire and permitted his departure for America without objection.
In 1830, Baraga sailed on a ship bound for America. Of the voyage, Baraga later wrote, “The ships are adapted purposely for passengers and mail, are quite large with three masts, and are very pretty and clean.” On the storm encountered during the 30-day trip, he commented, “We all had to stay in our beds that were
well fastened, and we had to hold on with both hands to
keep from being thrown out.”
Baraga disembarked in New York on New Year’s Eve. The city surprised him with its orderliness. Of it he said, “The city is beautiful, and it has straight streets as if drawn with a ruler. Some are longer than an hour’s walk. I have seen many beautiful and large cities, but none so regularly laid out, clean, and pleasant as New York.”
From New York, he traveled to Cincinnati and from there to the eastern coast of Lake Michigan. In 1832 at Arbre Croche, his first Indian missionary post, Baraga wrote his first prayer book in the Ottawa language, Ottawa Anamie Misinaigan. Out of necessity for contact and eager desire to save the Indians from social, cultural, and spiritual extinction. This book was followed by a grammar and . dictionary of the Ojibwa language, which was very similar to the Ottawa language.
Baraga’s next mission was beside Grand River. On this site he erected a church that he decorated with six paintings by Matevž Langus
sent to him from Ljubljana. In 1835, he left for his third mission at La Pointe on the southern shore of Lake Superior, working among the Indians of the Ojibwa tribe who were known as skillful and bloodthirsty warriors.
During the winter of 1835-1836, Baraga wrote five new books, including the book titled Meditation on Four Ultimate Concerns intended for Slovenian readers. He also wrote an interesting book on the history and life of the Indians originally published in German, Geschichte, Character, Sit-ten und Gebrauche der nord-amerikanischen Indier, and in shorter form in Slovenian.
Among other things, the book recounts the still very popular story about the Indian princess Pocahontas who saved the life of the Englishman John Smith. Today the story is known around the world, largely thanks to the Walt Disney movie.
The work in the region around Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron was too hard for one missionary who operated with minimal means. Seeking financial support and new missionaries, Baraga returned to Europe for the first time in 1836. Determined to gain financial help, he went to Rome where he was the
guest of Pope Gregory XVI. In Vienna, he was received by Emperor Ferdinand I and was also a guest of Chancellor Mettemich. He also visited his family and friends in Carniola for several weeks.
Through his ardent sermons and articles in books and newspapers, Baraga inspired many priests to take up missionary work; but because of the hard living conditions in the missions, many gave up and returned to Europe.
Several dedicated and undaunted missionaries in North America came from Carniola. Among those Baraga influenced were Ignacij Knoblehar (1819-1858) who became a missionary among the African tribes on the banks of the White Nile in Sudan; Franc Pirc (1785-1880) from Gorenjska who at the age of 50 joined Baraga in North America, Ignacij Mrak (1810-1901) who became bishop in Marquette after Baraga’s death, and the Franciscan Oton Skola (1805-1879) from Novo Mesto who also followed Baraga’s path.
Baraga returned to America satisfied with his first trip across Europe. He had collected enough money for his mission, and his sister Amalija also accompanied him to America. In 1843, he moved from La Pointe to L’Anse in the middle of the south coast of Lake Superior where he remained for 10 years. As a result of his untiring and self-sacrificing work, he was named the first bishop of the extensive region of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron in 1853.
The solemn investiture ceremony took place in the Cincinnati cathedral, and for his bishop’s motto Baraga chose Unum est xneces-sarium” or “Only one thing is necessary.” Baraga’s first bishop’s residence was in Salute Ste. Marie.
Two weeks after being appointed bishop, Baraga left for Europe a second time.
Again, concern for the financial support of the missions and for his newly established bishopric took him to Europe. This time he was received by Pope Pius IX in Rome and in Bavaria by King Ludwig II, and he was also an honored guest at the wedding of Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph I to the Bavarian princess Elizabeth of Wittelsbach. At the wedding, he represented the North American bishops and on the occasion the young
newlyweds gave him rich presents.
After returning to America, Baraga tirelessly continued his missionary work. However, the numerous exhausting missionary journeys and the constant struggle against the destruction of the Indians increasingly took their toll on Baraga, whom the Indians called the “Great Black Robe.”
In 1866 he moved the seat of the bishopric to Marquette on Lake Superior, and in October of the same year he suffered a stroke during a church convention in Baltimore. He partially recovered, but his life was inevitably coming to an end. He died in Marquette on January 19, 1868, and was buried in the Marquette cathedral.
His work and his memory remain with us today. His numerous books such as A Spiritual Pasture for Christians Who Wish to Pray in the Spirit and Truth of God (1830), Meditation on four Ultimate Concerns (1837), Heaven’s Flowers (1846) A Description of the Customs and Behavior of the Indians of North America (1837), and Geschichte, Character, Sitten und Gebrauche de
nord-amerikanischen Indier (1837) have been preserved.
The exhibition also displayed his basic works in the languages of two North American Indian tribes including his Ojibwa prayer book Otchipwe Anamie -Masinaigan (1849), the grammar book A Theoretical and Practical Grammar of the Otchipwe Language (1850), A Dictionary of the Otchipwe Language Explained in English (1853), and A Short Comnpendiunt of the Catechism for the Indians (1869). There are copies of Baraga’s letters and numerous other editions of his books in the archives of the Slovene Religious Museum in Stična collected and arranged in 1992 by Karel Ceglar, a Canadian priest of Slovenian descent.
Through his unselfish work, Baraga fought unrelentingly against the social and cultural extinction of the Indian tribes, still a burning issue today. In the 19* century, the appropriation of the forests, their clearing for farmland, the reduction in the number of animals, the closure of mines, and the constant increase in the number of white settlers pushed the Indians to the bottom of the social ladder.
Frederick Irenej Baraga is one of the Slovenian candidates for sainthood. Franciscan Hugo Bren (1881-1953) was the first Slovenian to initiate the procedure for Baraga’s beatification, and he began with a systematic collection of material. * spite of numerous attempts, the process has yet not been
completed.	_______

Over the years our circumstances change, financially or physically, and we are no longer able to do everything we want. Then the refrain becomes “If I only had... gone to Slovenia... flown to Hawaii... on and
on.
ou will surely have a
word “someday” -hear it all the time.

y when we preface an Station with the

“tied,
kiss of death because
ay never comes.
Why do we often put off those things we dream about, even when we have the means to bring these dreams to fruition? No one is going to live forever, so while we are able, why not make those “somedays” a reality? Then when we are in our rocking chairs we can give long, boring monologues about the times when “We were in Slovenia... at Pearl Harbor...” and make everyone jealous that we DID it. Let’s “Do It Now.” Time waits for no one.
Again a reminder -“someday” is July 15 for the Euclid Pensioners Picnic.
Our sympathies go out to the families and friends of our recently deceased members Rose Brancely, Anna Tomazic, Lillian Pertekel,

If you are not already a Euclid Pensioner member, you are invited to be our guest at the next meeting. We always start with entertainment or a speaker, and then have a business meeting after which there is a social with refreshments. It’s a pleasant way to spend an afternoon among old and new friends. Come early. Often more socializing goes on before the meeting than after. Our meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month at 1 p.m. in the Slovenian Society Home on Recher Avenue.
To our present members: We always have a good attendance at our meetings, but there are some members we have not seen for a while. The weather is nice - no excuse - and we would like to see you again.

"T" Tomily delivered by I—I Rev. Victor Cim--1- -Xperman on Sunday, May 24th on the occasion of the St. Vitus Catholic War Veterans Mass at 9 a.m. in St. Vitus Church.
We are gathered here this morning to honor all our Military Service men and women who fought to preserve for us the freedoms we enjoy and cherish.
On this day, we especially remember those from our (St. Vitus) parish who died in active combat and made the supreme sacrifice of their lives.
From our honored dead, Lincoln told us, we gather increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. Their memories we now hold in honored benediction.
Our sentiments, for every hero who fell in battle, are best expressed in the words spoken of our Lord, “Greater love than this no man hath than that he give his life for his friends.”
We remember, also, those who survived the battles, but have since been called by God to their eternal reward: May they rest in peace.
We remember, too, all who are still with us. Each and every one contributed, by their sacrifices, to the preservation of our freedoms.
Our nation has set aside certain days, such as Memorial Day, in order that we may never forget their heroism, so that we might give thanks to God and pause in prayer to ask the Omifipotent and merciful God to reward all who served our country by this unselfish patriotism.
As we face the uncertain future, may we never forget our noble heroes and be forever grateful for the many sacrifices they made on our behalf, lest we loose the freedoms for which they fought so bravely. “May the Lord bless them and keep them.
“May His face shine upon them and be gracious to them.
“May He look upon them with kindness, and grant them His peace.”

The Slovenian Genealogy Society will hold a “Day of Genealogy” at the SNPJ Heritage Center on Sunday, August 2nd from j to 4 p m’ the SGS will have “how to” presentations on- Slovenian genealogy, including information for both the beginning and advanced family historian.
SGS president and founder Al Peterlin will explain how to find your Slovenian roots in Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and Hungary. He will also explain how to use American sources to begin your search. Many of the books, indexes, and records of the society will be available for use by those attending, and the question and answer period can be especially informative.
You do not have to be a member of the SGS or the SNPJ to attend. The Heritage Center is located at the SNPJ Recreation Center, 270 Martin Road, in North Beaver Twp., PA. It’s just off State Route 108 in Lawrence County, not far from New Castle, PA, and Youngstown, OH. Call them at l-800-843-7675 for complete information and a list of motels in the area.
The Slovenian Genealogy Society is a US/Canadian non-profit educational organization that collects and distributes information on Slovenian family history.
The society’s goal is to help members make the best use of available information while doing their own research.
Novice family historians and expert genealogists alike will find the society is a valuable resource of family names and indexes to publications.
And you don’t necessarily have to read or write Slovenian. Established in the heavily Slovenian coal mining town of Forest City, PA, in 1986, the society already has over 20,000 names in their Slovenian Ancestry Index, plus thousands more in obituary lists. In addition, members can learn how to obtain old country records from civil and church archives, military records, and libraries.
The society publishes a quarterly newsletter with articles by members outlin- -ing successes and failures, and queries by members researching specific names. They maintain a web site at http://feefhs.org/slovenia/frg -sgsi.html. If your interests is family history or the history of Slovenia, the Slovenian Genealogy Society can help you.
For information on joining the society, write to John Leskovec, 10829 Tibbetts Road #2, Kirtland, OH 44094-5194. Or email him at jleskovec@msn.com

Meeting at Slovene Home for the Aged Will Update You on Changes in Medicare Program
Representative from Medicare Will Make Presentation
The Federal Government is in the process of ma*c'n4eZa changes in the Medicare program. Some of the changes tha*| v
are being made affect only the operation of nursing horn«5!
There is one change that is being made, however, that will

affect all Medicare recipients individually.
Medicare will no longer be sending you a statement call«1' an Explanation of Medicare Benefits. Instead it will sen ^ you a statement that will be called a Medicare Summary Notice. Also, Medicare will be instituting a new app«a*s
process.
We at the SHA feel it is very important for you to understand these new changes in the Medicare program. Coi>‘ sequently, we have scheduled a representative from Medicare to come to the Slovene Home for the Aged, 18621 N< .

NATO...
(Continued from page 1)
join NATO — and sooner rather than later. “It’s already started,” said Sen. Robert Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who was one of the earliest opponents of NATO expansion. “What we have done with this vote is to create in the next 10 to 15 years chaos in Europe in terms of arguing who should come in and why they should come in.”
Nineteen U.S. ethnic groups, under the banner of the Central and East European Coalition, bombarded the Senate with letters and phone calls on behalf of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. The same coalition will be back to push for another round of expansion next year, lobbying Clinton to make good on his promise that the “first new members should not and will not be the last.” “We’ve promised to help them just like they have helped us,” says Myra Le-nard, who heads the Washington office of the Polish American Congress.
By next April, when NATO meets in Washington, NATO’s nine new suitors will be lobbying in high gear. Romania, a country of 23 million, will argue that it can serve as a bulwark against instability from the nearby former Yugoslavia and provide strategically important access to the Black Sea. -- France, Romania’s patron in Western Europe, is backing its bid.
Slovenia, an independent republic of the former Yugoslavia, has Italy’s support and will stress that it provides a land bridge from Italy to Hungary, which would otherwise have no border with any other NATO country. Slovenia is also planning to send mine-sweeping specialists to Bosnia, where a NATO-led peacekeeping force is patrolling.
All of the would-be entrants see NATO as protection agairist Moscow.
But Warner and other opponents of NATO expansion fear that it will pit the fragile economies of Central Europe against one another.
All of them are trying to attract Western capital, and investors are likely to see NATO membership as a guarantee of basic stability.
“It’s like having the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.,” Warner said, comparing NATO military might to federal protection for deposits in some banks.

Stane Klemenc of Ljubljana claims to be the first Slovenian to reach the North Pole. He with a team that left Moscow touched “the icy Pole” there last April. Congratulations, Stane!
A hundred years ago the first “horseless carriage” rode through the streets of Ljubljana. Baron Codelli drove his wagon from Vienna to Ljubljana away back in 1898. The occasion was marked by an exhibition of documentary photographs lent by the world famous Daimler-Benz Company.
This year the annual Plečnik Award went to Aleš Prinčič for his designs of family houses and interiors. The medal was awarded to Danilo Fuerst for his numerous contributions to Slovenian architecture. Architects Tomaif Krušeč and Primof Jež won student’s recognition. Congratulations to all of the hon-orees!
It was 150 years ago, in 1848 that jhe idea of a united Slovenia began to be heard. So wrote the late Dr. Miha Krek back in 1948 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary. He pointed out that some 12,000 of Slovenia’s finest fighting for their country sacrificed their lives to the miscarried xmi.nei. Communist
Revolution. May all of these Slovenian war heroes sleep the sleep of peace although they never realized nor saw an independent Slovenia!
Slovenia and Central Europe suffered a mild earthquake. According to Matija Petrič of Ljubljana, the damage was mostly confined to some of the roads and highways as well as houses. Kobarid and Tolmin were the hardest hit in Slovenia. Some 700 inhabitants were affected by the quake but no serious injuries were reported.
Slovenians in Argentina participated in a Book Fair held recently in Buenos Aires.
Did you know that the inventor of the ship’s screw was a Slovenian around Terst back in 1829? It is believed that the first use of it was in 1820. The inventor’s name is Josef Ressel and he lived from 1793 to 1857.
Gus Petelinkar is HNS Honoree

Gus was proclaimed the society’s “Man of the Year.” Gus is a dedicated parishioner of St. Mary’s and the Holy Name Society. He is a faithful worker at the Fall Festival and a minister to the sick and homebound of the parish.

Ohio City Becoming Popular Tourist Attraction
(NAPS)—A two-time World Champion basketball team. A world-class zoo and first-rate science museum. Trendy neighborhoods and an abundance of shopping. All conveniently located in a Midwest city.
It might sound like Chicago, but it’s not. Surprise. It’s Columbus.
People who are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary place for a getaway may want to consider the Capital of Ohio.
The city is home to the Columbus Zoo, COSI Columbus, urban neighborhoods such as the Short North and German Village, and the Columbus Quest, back-to-back champions of the American Basketball League. And a whole lot more.
Some highlights:
•The Short North district—just north of Downtown—features scores of art galleries and restaurants. The galleries stay open late on the first Saturday of each month for the popular Gallery Hop.
•German Village is the nation’s largest privately-restored historic neighborhood. First settled in 1813, a period of decay began with the onset of World War I. Prohibition forced the breweries to close and, in the 1950s, the area was slated for demolition. Fortunately, the bulldozers were stopped and what remains is one of the city’s most popular areas.

A convoy of nine 32-foot-long trucks, designed with colorful images of favorite summer meals, will travel across the country visiting more than 1,200 grocery stores.

Desetletje od aretacye tkim. četverice -Takrat naj bi se začela nastajati država
Slovenya - Janez Janša se spominja
Preteklo nedeljo je minilo natanko 10 let od takrat, ko so organi Uprave za notranje zadeve priprli Janeza Janšo •n proti njemu vložili kazensko prijavo za kaznivo dejanje izdajanja vojaških skrivnosti ter ga izročili preiskovalnemu sodniku vojaškega sodišča v Ljubljani. I-stega dne so varnostni organi JLA priprli tudi zastavnika Ivana Borštneija. Mediji so zadevo objavili 4. junija 1988. V naslednjem času sta bila aretirana še David Tasič in Franci Zavrl. Tako so v zvezi z afero nastale začetnice aretirancev JBTZ.
Proces proti četverici je potekal pred vojaškim sodiščem v Ljubljani. Na Roški cesth kjer je bil njegov sedež, se je množica ljudi iz dneva v dan večala; tako je bilo vse do 27. julija, ko je senat vojaškega sodišča sprejel sodbo, v kateri je Borštneija obsodil na štiri leta zapora, Tasiča na pet mesecev, Francija Zavrla in Janeza Janšo pa na leto dni ln šest mesecev zapora.
O takratnih dogodkih je Janez Janša za Nedelo preteklo nedeljo izjavil:
Zadeve bi se odvijale v isti smeri, morda z drugačnimi dogodki, ampak konotacija bi bila ista. Niso me aretirali zat°, ker sem slučajno prišel mimo po cesti, amf&k zato, ker smo takrat izdali Kavčičev dnevnik in spomine, pisateljsko ustavo in ker me je skupina študentov jubljanske in mariborske univerze kandirala za predsednika mladinske organiza-ClJe, čeprav nisem bil njen član. Skratka, Nastopili smo z neko politično provokaci-J0’ Za katero je takratna oblast ocenila, da je šla prek dovoljene meje. Če pač ne bi bilo aretacij in procesa, bi pomlad cvetela naprej brez tega represivnega po-^e8a, prej ali slej bi prišlo do demokra-12acije in uporabe kakšnega drugačnega ^cenarija, prehoda, kot smo jih pač lah-
sPremljali v drugih srednjeevropskih
Pretekli teden Milan Kučan prvič na uradnem obisku v Nemčyi
Predsednik Milan Kučan je pretekli petek zaključil svoj prvi uradni obisk v Nemčiji. Prišel je na tridnevni obisk na povabilo nemškega predsednika Romana Herzoga, pogovarjal se je pa tudi s kanclerjem Helmutom Kohlom, predsednico parlamenta Rito Sussmuth in zunanjim ministrom Klausom Kinklom. Kučan je tudi govoril pred zunanjepolitičnim odborom Bundestgga ter člani nemške industrijske in trgovinske zbornice. Pred vrnitvijo v Slovenijo si je skupaj s slovensko gospodarsko delegacijo pod vodstom ministra Metoda Dragonje ogledal berlinski sedež podjetja Siemens.
Večerja za ameriške prijatelje Slovenije
V New Yorku je poprejšnjo sredo zvečer generalni konzul Slovenije v New Yorku Vojislav Šuc priredil večerjo v čast novo ustanovljenemu društvu Ameriški prijatelji Slovenije, ki se je pred dnevi uradno registriralo pri oblasteh države New York. Ustanovitelji, vsi so ugledni Newyorčani, Donald Creadore, Henry Christman, Theodore Kupferman in Abraham Feldman, so se odločili, da bodo s pomočjo svojega društva pomagali pri promociji Slovenije. Večerje so se udeležili tudi slovenski veleposlanik v Washingtonu dr. Dimitrij Rupel, slovenski kulturni ataše v New Yorku Tomaž Šalamun in vodja slovenske turistične pisarne v New Yorku Darja Gačnik.
Zimske olimpijske igre leta 2006
Slovenija, Italija in Avstrija sodelujejo pri kandidaturi za organiziranje zimskih olimpijskih igrah leta 2006 ob njih tromeji. Mednarodni olimpijski odbor bo pretehtal vse vložene kandidature in se odločil šele poleti 1999. V maju je bil v Sloveniji ustanovljen nacionalni organizacijski komite, predseduje mu pa bivši slovenski veleposlanik v ZDA dr. Ernest Petrič. Podpredsedniki komiteja so ljubljanska županja Viktorija Potočnik ter dr. Janko Strel in Jože Kotnik.

NAPROŠENI ZA OBJAVO...
VABILO NA 8. DRAGO MLADIH
Dragi prijatelji!
Smo skupina mladih iz Trsta, ki delujemo v različnih slovenskih organizacijah in društvih, ki se prepoznavajo v vrednotah krščanstva, slovenstva in demokracije. Oglašamo se vam zato, da vam predstavimo pobudo, za katero ste morda že slišalim pa mogoče še niste imeli priložnosti, da bi jo pobliže spoznali. To je srečanje, ki združuje in povezuje mladino iz Trsta, Gorice, Koroške, zdomstva in Slovenije, in na kateri je veliko zabave, pa tudi veliko priložnosti za diskusijo in razmišljanje o aktualnih temah. To je Draga mladih, ki bo letos potekala že osmič in ki se zgleduje po bolj znanih študijskih dnevih Draga.
Priprave na letošnjo Drago mladih potekajo že nekaj mesecev. Letošnji glavni organizatorji so člani Združenja katoliških študentov iz Ljubljane, pri pripravah so ves čas prisotni tudi člani Mladih v odkrivanju skupnih poti iz Trsta, pri izvedbi programa pa bodo sodelovali tudi člani društva Mavrični most mladih s slovenske Primorske, Amosa iz Maribora, Sončne pesmi, Mladinskega ceha, Mladih krščanskih demokratov.
Letošnja Draga mladih bo potekala od četrtka, 3. septembra popoldne, do sobote, 5. septembra po kosilu, pod šotorom v parku Finžgarjevega doma na Opčinah pri Trstu (prepletala se bo s študijskimi dnevi Draga, ki bodo potekali od 4. do 6. sept.). Rdeča nit študijskega dela srečanja bo VPLIV CIVILNE DRUŽBE NA POLITIKO. Zamisel za. to temo se je porodila, ko smo razmišljali o tem, da smo mladi odgovorni za svojo bodočnost in da lahko oz. moramo vplivati na politične odločitve, ki se nas tičejo. Na te odločitve pa ne vplivamo nujno tako, da se aktivno vključimo v kako politično stranko, ampak tudi tako, da postanemo aktivni dejavniki civilne družbe.
V predavanju in okroglih mizah bomo torej slišali, kako na politiko vplivajo tisti, ki so dejavni na kulturnem področju (dr. Tone Jamnik bo spregovoril o vplivu kulture, ideologije, religije na politiki), tisti, ki se oglašajo v medijih in ki tudi drugače znajo vplivati in oblikovati javno mnenje (s pomočjo uglednih gostov, senatorja v italijanskem parlamentu, Dimitrija Volčiča, in časnikarko radia Glas Amerike, Alenko Adamič Richardson, bomo razširili tudi svoja obzorja in pogledali, kako je s tem v svetu, časnikar revije Mag, Janez Markež, in sociolog in pravnik dr. Peter Jambrek pa bosta analizirala situacijo v Sloveniji) in tisti, ki se ukvarjajo z mladinsko problematiko na različnih nivojih in področjih (minister za delo, socialno in družino R Slovenije dr. Tone Rop, predsednikk SDGZ dr. Vojko Kocjančič iz Trsta, salezijanski duhovnik Martin Lisec, bivši študentski minister za socialo Uroš Slamič).	(dalje na str. 12)
Čestitamo graduantom Slovenske šole pri Sv. Vidu
Na fotografiji so z leve: Sonia Domanko, Kristina Antloga, Kati Zupan, Marko Sršen, Tončka Žakelj, Monika Zalar, Andreja Leonard
CLEVELAND, O. - V nedeljo, 17. maja, smo imeli pri Sv. Vidu graduacijo. Osmi razred slovenske sobotne šole je prejel diplome pri pol enajsti maši. V razredu je šest deklet in Marko. To je bil razred, kjer so se otroci hoteli nekaj naučiti. Pridni so ti otroci, dobri in lepo vzgojeni. Deset let so prihajali skoro vsako soboto v slovensko šolo. Lepo so poslušali, pisali domače naloge, naučili so se brati in pisati in tudi malo govorijo slovensko.
Naj jih naštejem: Kristina Antloga, Sonia Domanko, Andreja Leonard, Marko Sršen, Monika Zalar, Kati Zupan in Tončka Žakelj. In ko gledaš te mlade ljudi, si zadovoljen, ker vidiš, da ves trud ni bil zaman. Starši in učitelji smo jih lahko veseli. Vsem prisrčno čestitamo!
To šolsko leto je bilo bogato in polno življenja. Imeli smo lepega Miklavža.
ZAHVALA
Sledi tekst pisma župnika g. Franca Vidmarja iz Loškega Potoka. Ob smrti pred meseci ge. Pavle Arko je njena družina prejela darove v spomin na rajno. Od teh darov je bilo $500 poslanih v pomoč župniji Loški Potok, ki je rojstna fara pok. ge. Arko. Trenutno tam obnavljajo župnijsko cerkev. Pismo skupaj z lepim darom našemu listu je v imenu družine Arko—Simrayh poslala ga. Mihaela Simrayh. Sedaj pa tekst pisma:
Spoštovana ga. Mihaela!
Prav lepo se vam zahvaljujem za vaš dar 500 dolarjev, ki ste nam jih poslali za potrebe naše župnijske cerkve v Loškem Potoku. Bog lonaj, naj vam dobri Bog stoterno povrne.
Lep pozdrav
Vidmar Franc Župnik
Žal pa, da za tega Miklavža je bil to njegov zadnji obisk. Jože Likozar je umrl aprila letos. Slovenska šola pri Sv. Vidu mu bo vedno hvaležna, ker z njim je izgubila velikega prijatelja, pridnega delavca, ki je mnogo let skrbel za slovensko šolo.
Za božič smo obiskali Slovenski dom za ostarele na Neff Road in učenci so prepevali s Slovenci, ki so že zelo dolgo v Ameriki in tudi na svetu. Praznovali smo materinski dan z veselo akademijo. Nesli smo butarice v cerkev na cvetno nedeljo. Vsako tretjo nedeljo v mesecu učenci sodelujejo pri sv. maši z branjem prošenj in beril. Pod Janezovim vodstvom pa tudi pojemo med mašo.
Veliko ljudi se trudi in dela v šoli, a brez sodelovanja staršev šole ne bi bilo. Seveda brez učiteljev pa tudi ne.
Lani so bili svetovidski graduantje prvič na obisku v Sloveniji; domov so prišli zelo navdušeni. Ta obisk jih je zelo zbližal in jim poglobil slovensko zavest. Tudi letošnji graduantje bodo šli za štirinajst dni v Slovenijo. Malo zasluge ima tudi slovenska šola, da ti mladi ljudje cenijo domovino svojih dedov in se veselijo obiska v Slovenijo.
Zina Velikonja
Odšel v večnost
Iz Somone, Kalifornija, je poslala ga. Jožefa Sommers sporočilo, da je 15. marca 1998 odšel njen mož Stanley W. Sommers po večno plačilo. Pokojni Stanley je bil rojen v Clevelandu, O., in se je preselil v Kalifornijo. Od 28. marca 1995 je bil revež hudo prizadet, dokler ga ni smrt rešila trpljenja. Naj počiva v božjem miru, ženi Jožefi pa naše iskreno sožalje!
JEZIKOVNI
KOTIČEK
Gospa Berta, ki želi spoštljivo ravnati z jezikom in spada med tiste naše ljudi, ki jim je jezik svetinja, me je prosila za pojasnilo o rabi pridevnika bo^ji ali Božji. V zvezi z rabo velikih in malih začetnic smo Slovenci izdelali pravo (nepotrebno) filozofijo, saj so dostikrat v rabo ene ali druge začetnice posegali različni vzroki, ki so daleč od pravopisnih.
Da nam ne bi kdo očital, da smo pod nemškim vplivom, smo drastično nehali pisati velike začetnice pr* samostalnikih in začeli razlikovati lastna imena od občih. Ker si nismo bili na jasnem, katera so lastna i' mena, se je začela zmešnj3' va. Nadaljevalo se je tudi s samostalnikom Bog, ki ga j6 bilo treba pisati z malo začetnico. Naše pisanje je bilo odvisno od stopnje naše vernosti!!
Prejšnje pravilo, po katerem je naš Bog lastno ime, različni poganski bogovi (Perun, Jupiter, Zevs...) Pa obča imena, je dobilo pov' sem drugačno barvo. Takšno absurdno presojanje je pr*' vedlo še do mnogih drugih sprememb in dlakocepljenj’ Imena praznikov so nam ukazali pisati z malo začetnico, češ da to niso lastn3 imena.	;-M
Drugi problem je nasta pri imenih s pridevnikom sveti. V Sloveniji so v kra' jevnih imenih Sveti (Sv’^ kar črtali in tako hodijo Katarino, Urha, Primoža i° še kam.
Za tiste, ki se pridevnik11 sveti ne izogibamo, pa velja še to pravilo: Pri krajevni imenih pišemo Sv. z velik0 začetnico, pri imenih svetn* kov pa z malo začetnico:

$tVa> mbo1 rimskega cesar-
^a!umenoval 8e je fašizem, havj, $e ^ v naših krajih 2adnji, ta pa je imel
temno rumenkaste srajce in na zastavi kljukasti križ. Pozdrav teh je bil vedno z dvignjeno roko, imenoval se je nacizem.
Najprvi je prišel k nam ta iz Apeninskega polotoka. Prišel je mirno v naše kraje, preprostemu človeku se je zdelo, da ne bo nič hudega. Toda kmalu so se iz gozda pojavile osebe, ki jim to ni bilo po volji. Napadali so okupatorsko vojsko, seveda samo tam, kjer ni bilo veliko vojaštva. Tako so nekoliko ustrahovali, ljudem pa dopovedavali, da se borijo proti okupatorju, bili pa so povezani z njim.
Tako je okupator pričel po deželi požigati kmeske hiše in odganjati ljudi v taborišča. Prvo tako taborišče je bilo Gonars, drugo pa otok Rab. Mnogi so ostali tam za vedno in to je spomenik za te, ki so sd borili proti okupatorju.
Nikdar pa ti gozdovniki ne omenjajo, da so skupno delali z okupatorsko vojsko. Pozabljajo, da so dobili orožje od okupatorja in jim je ta vojska pomagala ob napadu na Turjak in Grčarice, branilcem pa obljubili prostost.
Pri tem moramo omeniti, da so ti gozdovni strahovi po deželi kradli, požigali in nedolžne ljudi ovajali okupatorju. Tako se je ustanovila Vaška straža na podeželju, da so branili svoje kmetske domove. Ko pa je to propadlo, so mu ti gozdovni tovariši dali prosto pot, da se je vrnil nazaj na Apeninski polotok na svoj dom. Ali ni bilo to sodelovanje z okupatorjem?
Zdaj pa se povrnemo k drugemu, ki je tudi zasedel slovensko ozemlje. Ta je bil malo bolj krut in je dal povelje, napravite mi to deželo nemško. Takrat pa so njegovi gozdni simpatizerji razmetavali po ljubljanskih cestah listke, da je dober in se ni treba bati, pa še z dvignjeno roko so pozdravljali te okupatorske sile. Seveda, takrat so bili še v dobrih odnosih s prijatelji iz severa.
Ko pa so nemške sile napadle (ZSSR), so se razmere popolnoma predrugačile. Toda naši gozdovniki so vedno dobili zvezo z okupatorsko silo in izdajali slovenske ljudi njim, da so bili odpeljani v Dachau. Tudi tam je spomenik teh
gozdaijev. Povrhu tega so napravili “Dolomitsko” pogodbo o nenapadanju. Toda danes ti gozdni tovariši se prav nič ne spominjajo tega, so pač stara leta tu.
Toda spominjajo se pa domobranstva in še posebno prisege. Kar naprej premlevajo to zadevo, seveda, da zakrijejo svoje sodelovanje z okupatorjem. Vedno in povsod poudarjajo, koliko so doprinesli k zmagi zaveznikov. Spominjajo se pa nič o protiimperialistični fronti. Tudi ta je kmalu končal, ker je sprevidel, da njegove sile niso kos zaveznikom.
Zadnji je rovaril in ubijal ljudi do konca vojne in še po njej. Primer na Poljskem in na koncu vojne pri nas, ko so angleške zasedbene sile vrnile domobrance nazaj v kraje, kjer so bili rojeni. Tam so jih mučili in zverinsko pobili. Še danes se ne ve, kje so vsi pokopani in se tudi ne spominjajo. Samo slava o partizanskih napadih na okupatorja, kar ni prineslo niti sekunde preje konec vojne.
Zavito je vse v laži in prevari, saj so nad slovenskim narodom napravili toliko gorja. Toda njihova slava pri tem je bila tako velika, da še danes ljudje verjamejo tem herojskim podvigom, ki niso nič drugega kot pobijanja neoboroženih domobrancev. Tam so se pokazali junaki, oziroma heroji. Tudi ta je končal in se danes še malo govori o njemu.
“Večer” prvi slovenski dnevnik v celoti po Internetu
Pred dnevi je začel mariborski dnevnik Večer izhajati tudi v Internetu in tako je postal prvi v Sloveniji in eden redkih v svetu, ki svojim bralcem ponuja popolno elektronsko izdajo svojega časnika.
Dnevno se nabere skoraj sto člankov, novic, komentarjev in reportaž, ki skupno zavzemajo več kot 300.000 znakov, kar ustreza 150 strani debeli knjigi. Arhiv, ki je odslej brezplačno na voljo vsem surfarjem po Internetu je najpopolnejša zbirka objavljenih tekstov. V njem so zajeti teksti od novembra 1996, slike pa še kakšno leto pred tem. Vseh tekstov je več kot 250.000 (skupna dolžina je skoraj 450,000.000 znakov, kar ustreza tri metre široki knjižni polici leksikonov), zbranih slik pa je skoraj 50.000. Da pa so stvari še večje, se vsak dan nabere več sto novih slik. Te so razdeljene v pet tematskih skupin in si jih tudi lakho ogledamo v Interenetu.

Epilog:
Seznanili smo vas o dogodkih, ki so se dogodili od leta 1941 do konca druge svetovne vojne. To so sedaj dnevi, pri katerih se spominjamo naših padlih za slovenski narod pod geslom: Bog, Narod, Domovina.
Ustanovitev Vaške straže po vaseh (je pomenilo), da so se zbrali mladi fantje in branili po deželi pred krajo in pobijanjem nedolžnih ljudi, ki niso bili istega mišljenja. Preprosti kmetski fantje so spoznali, kaj se skriva v ozadju. Ti gozdovniki so ovajali ljudi pri okupatorju samo, da so se znebili nasprotnikov.
Nato se je ustanovilo domobranstvo. Po deželi je kmetski človek veliko pretrpel, saj so požigali domove. Toda ti gozdovniki nikdar ne omenjajo, kaj so delali, samo slavo o zmagah nad okupatorjem. Ta njihova miselnost je bila:	odstraniti
vse, kar njim ni naklonjenega. Posledice vidimo še danes. Samo poglejmo v domovino, ljudje tam ne vidijo, ne slišijo, samo eno in isto melodijo o slavi gozdovnikov. Koliko časa bo še tako?
Ko bo izumrl ta rod, šele takrat se bo zasvetlikala
svetloba resnice. Zato, slovenski človek, pomni, kaj se je zgodilo ob koncu vojne meseca maja in junija. Mnogi pozabljajo, da so prišli v to deželo svobode in blagostanja - cena za slovenski narod pa je bila velika, preko 12 tisoč mladih življenj je bilo pokončanih.
Zato se vsedi zvečer zunaj pred svojim malim gradom, ko se svetloba dneva poslavlja in ptičje petje utihne, le vidi se kresnice, ki letajo naokrog, da se svetlika, in se vprašaj: kdo sem jaz? *
Mnogi so se tu vdali novi slepoti - gledanje na osebne gmotne koristi (materializem). Vse mine, ostane le tisto, kar človek napravi dobrega, počuti se v notranjosti bolj sproščenega.
Zato pridi 20. in 21. junija na Slovensko pristavo -spomini te povedejo v preteklost --, tvoja notranjost pa bo sproščena in umirjena. Tabor DSPB - S.V.
Nova revija za kulturo in družbo
Zvon spet “poje” Slovencem
Ljubljana - V prostorih Slovenske matice v Ljubljani so 28. maja predstavniki Mohoijevih družb iz Celovca, Celja in Gorice ter Družine iz Ljubljane predstavili prvo številko nove skupne četrtletne publikacije - revije za kulturo in družbo Zvon. Revija želi nadaljevati izročilo Celovškega zvona (1984-98), ne odreka pa se niti prejšnjim periodičnim publikacijam s tem imenom vse tja do Stritarjevega dunajskega. Zvona (1870, 1876-1880).
Glavni urednik Jože Horvat je ob prvi številki med drugim zapisal, da bo nova revija v dovolj pestri revijalni ponudbi v Sloveniji poskušala prisluhniti medijsko še neizrabljenim “belim lisam" oziroma “tistim slovenskim robovom in oto-

Jezikovni kotiček
(nadaljevanje s str. 10)
Pri Sv. Jakobu je vsako leto slavje na čast sv. Jakobu. Prav tako smo pisali, da je pri Sv. Duhu podru-žniška cerkev, sv. Duha pa navdaja nekatere s spoznanjem. V Katekizmu katoliške Cerkve pa so uvedli pisanje Sveti Duh za tretjo božjo osebo. Isto pravilo velja tudi za Sveto Trojico.
Po tem se ravnam tudi jaz, čeprav se mi zdi to pravilo nekoliko nedorečeno. Po istem kriteriju, da gre za enoto, bi lahko pisali tudi Sv. Katarina za ime svetnice, v nasprotju z imeni deklet.
Hujše so težave s pridevnikom božji. V Katekizmu najdemo stalno navedenega Božje ta Sina. Pisali bomo torej Božji Sin - Očetov Odposlanec - kot sinonima za Jezusa.
Po isti logiki bomo torej pisali Mati Božja - Mati Brezmadežna - Božja Mati - Devica Najsvetejša kot sinonime za Maryo. V Katekizmu pa dovoljujejo obliko Božja le, če stoji pridevnik kot stalni pridevek za samostalnikom (Mati Božja), v vseh drugih zvezah pa ostaja božji:	božji evangelij,
božje kraljestvo, božja Cerkev in božja Mati...
Če pa imamo pridevnik božji za izpeljanko iz samostalnika Bog (kot je razlagal eden izmed prevajalcev Sv. pisma), pa bi morali vendar vedno pisati Božji. Kaj bo obveljalo? NOVI GLAS Trst/Gorica, 7. maja 1998

Italija še vedno ne priznava pravic slovenski manjšini
Poročilo IVA JEVNIKARJA, dopisnika Radio-Trst, o konferenci Ameriškega slovenskega sveta 16. maja na Kolumbijski univerzi v mestu blew York.
NEW YORK, NY, 18. maja 1998 - Reprezentativno ljubljansko DELO, “Samostojni časnik za samostojno Slovenijo”, je v svoji današnji številki prinesel sledeče poročilo o Mednarodni konferenci Ameriškega Slovenskega Kongresa na Kolumbijski univerzi, 16. maja - kratko, nezainteresirano in obrobno:
“Slovenci v Italiji si bodo zapomnili tri včerajšnje dogodke: v New Yorku so poleg dr. Janka Jerija trije njihovi predstavniki (Samo Pahor, Ivo Jevnikar in Giorgio Banchig) na univerzi Columbia vsestransko osvetlili njihov položaj v primerjavi francoske in nemške manjšine v Italiji.”
Vse drugačen pa je dopis, ki ga je o tej konferenci za Radio Trst pripravil Ivo Jevnikar, eden štirih uglednih govornikov na konferenci ASK-a. Poročilo je bilo prenašano na večernih radijskih poročilih Radia Trsta še isti dan, 16. maja!
R.L.L.
New York, 16. maja (STA) - Udeleženci kongresa o težavah slovenske narodne manjšine v Italiji, ki je potekal včeraj nana newyorški Univerzi Kolumbija, so si
bili edini v ugotovitvi, da italijanska država slovenski manjšini še vedno ne zagotavlja vseh pravic, ki bi jih po sprejetih mednarodnih sporazumih morala. Zato so se udeleženci odločili, da bodo referate s konference izdali v zborniku, ki ga bodo poslali ameriškim medijem, (zveznemu) Kongresu in Beli hiši.
Pobudo za konferenco so dali profesor na Kolumbiji, dr. Rado L. Lenček, predsednik Ameriškega slovenskega kongresa (ASK), dr. Silvester Lango, tajnik in blagajnik ASK-a, dr. Hilarij Rolih, pri izvedbi pa je pomagal še Svetovni slovenski kongres (SSK) v Ljubljani.
Za govorniškim odrom so referate predstavili dr. Giorgio Banchig, profesor Samo Pahor, dr. Janko Jeri ter Ivo Jevnikar, obiskal pa jo je tudi stalni predstavnik Republike Slovenije pri Združenih narodih v New
lo Turk. Povabilu na konferenco sta se odzvala tudi predstavnik italijanskega konzulata v New Yorku in italijanski novinar, vendar jima vsebina razprave ni bila pogodu in sta jo hitro zapustila.
Po uvodnem nagovoru dr. Silvestra Langa, je dr. Janko Jeri predstavil prvine pravnega položaja slovenske narodne manjšine v Italiji. Dopoldanski del konference je zaključil dr. Giorgio Banchig z referatom o slovenski manjšini v Videmski pokrajini. Število tamkajšnjih Slovencev je od leta 1921 naprej, ko jih je bilo skupaj 17,640, upadalo in leta 1991 jih je bilo le še 6,835. Iz referata dr. Banchiga pa je razvidno, da slovensko prebivalstvo ohranja jezikovne, kulturne in zgodovinske posebnosti, ki jih neločljivo povezujejo z matično domovino.
Za razliko od Trsta in Gorice v Videmski pokrajini ni slovenskih državnih šol, obstajata le zasebna mala in osnovna dvojezična šola v San Pietru al Natisone, ki jo obiskuje skupaj 129 o-trok.
V pokrajini obstajata dva dvojezična časopisa Novi Matajur in Dom, prebivalci pa lahko poslušajo tudi slovenske radijske programe iz
skega programa v slovenskem jeziku.
Po mnenju dr. Banchiga je za ohranitev slovenske manjšine v Videmski pokrajini potrebno sprejeti zaščitni zakon v okviru italijanske ustave in omogočiti uravnotežen kulturni razvqj preko šolske izobrazbe, javne uporabe slovenščine in podpore medijev. Poleg tega je treba sprejeti načrt oživljanja krajevnega gospodarstva in izgradnje sodobne infrastrukture.
Popoldanski del konference je začel legendarni borec za pravice slovenske manjšine v Italiji, profesor Samo Pahor, ki je z živo razlago izzval navdušenje udeležencev in buren aplavz. Pahor je v referatu opisal položaj slovenskega jezika v Furla-niji-Julijski krajini in poudaril, da v italijanskem pravnem sistemu glede slovenske manjšine še vedno vlada dvojna morala.
Večkrat osmešen, pretepen in zaprt ravnatelj slovenskega učiteljišča je s svojo neutrudnostjo pri zagovarjanju nič več kot iz italijanske ustave izhajajočih pravic slovenske manjšine italijanske oblastnike in revizioniste v več primerih prisilil, da spoštujejo lastne zakone.
Samo Pahor je zatrdil, da italijanske oblasti vse od konca druge svetovne vojne načrtno izvajajo ukrepe za preprečevanje rabe slovenskega jezika. Po ratifikaciji. Osimske pogodbe (14. marca 1977) so na primer takoj ukinili davčne liste v slovenskem jeziku.
V blag spomin ob peti obletnici Johana Kavčiča iz Toronta, Kanada
Ko je Bog ustvarjal svet, se je s posebno ljubeznijo ustavil nad našo domovino Slovenijo ter jo obdaril z lepoto narave. Tudi narod je bil na stoletja veren in pošten, dokler ga ni izpridila komunistična revolucija in se je še sedaj v sedemletni demokraciji ne more ali ne zna otresti. Prav gotovo pa je narod, ki prebiva v hribovitih vaseh nad Horjulom, ostal veren in pošten kljub 45-letni indoktrinaciji komunizma. Takšna vas je bila Šentjošt nad Horjulom, kjer se je rodil že pet let pokojni Johan Kavčič, znani gradbenik v Torontu.
Vsako leto, ko se približuje 1. junij, nas stisne v srcu ob mislih, da Te ni več med nami, da bi se veselili najinih vnukov in vnukinj, celo pravnukov, saj Te nekateri niso niti poznali, ko si nas zapustil pred petimi leti! Tudi danes so še vidna Tvoja dela, ko si se razdajal zaa obe slovenski župniji in jima vsestransko pomagal. Tudi rojstna vas Te pogreša, saj si ji ogromno pomagal pri obnavljanju cerkve in drugih kulturnih ustanov v vasi!
Najbolj pa Te pogreša Tvoja žena Francka in številni otroci s svojimi družinami, prosi pri Bogu za nas vse, da bi ostali zvesti svojemu Stvarniku in narodu!

Konec leta 1987 je Računsko sodišče v Trstu razveljavilo vrsto odlokov predsednika deželnega zbora, s katerim so bile slovenskim organizacijam dodeljene finančne podpore za delovanje.
Obstaja še več primerov kršitev pravic do dvojezičnosti, ki jih ima Samo Pahor dosledno shranjene v svojih papirjih.
Profesor Pahor je svoj referat zaključil z besedami kolega Carla Dionisottija, ki je več let poučeval zgodovino italijanskega slovstva na britanskih univerzah. Leta 1994 je za Corriere della Sera dejal: “Naša država - je tradicionalno nepoštena. V inozemstvu smo na glasu kot tatiči in sleparji, kot ljudje, ki ne držijo dane besede.”
Kot zadnji je nastopil novinar in publicist Ivo Jevnikar s primerjavo položaja nemške manjšine na Južnem Tirolskem, italijanske manjšine v Sloveniji in slovenske v Italiji. Iz njegove analize je razivdno, da je zaščita italijanske manjšine v Sloveniji največja. Od 26. navedenih manjšinskih pravic italijanska v Sloveniji ne uživa le dveh: pravice do ozemeljske avtonomije in pravice do delitve javnih služb ter storitev in uslug na osnovi etnične proporcionale. Zagotovljena ji je vrsta drugih pravic, ki je Slovenci v Italiji nimajo: zaščita manjšine ne glede na število pripadnikov, zajamčeno predstav-

kom, ki jih je srečati v zdomstvu in zamejstvu, a tudi - in to kaže poudariti - v Sloveniji.” Po zgledu Celovškega zvona in mariborskega Doma in sveta bo “zajemala v globlje ali osrednje tokove kulture, verstva, filozofije”.
Devetčlansko uredništvo s sodelavci kulture ne bo p°J' movalo le kot visoko in vase zaprto umetnost in misel, “temveč kot ustvarjalnost, ki je povezana z okoljem in dobo, goji pa j° zlasti sodobni (zahodnoevropski feljton, v katerem j6 srečati tako poglobljeno re' fleksijo o umetnosti kot družbeni refleks v njej”. P° izboru obravnavanih tem Pa bo dokazovalo in utrjeval0 “kulturno in družbeno pi°' ralnost slovenske resnično-sti”.

Pomen Sv. Štefana v Chicagu za slovenstvo
Tiste, ki so postavljali cerkev Sv. Štefana v Chicagu, moramo vsestransko pohvaliti kot globokoumne, naravnost preroške mojstre, vdane slovenstvu, kato-in človekoljubju nasploh; saj je tudi ameriški okolici bila s tem podarjena ena dragocenost, ki nstreza mešani tamkajšnji sestavi prebivalstva.

trpežljivosti in zanesljivo u-smerjajo vsakega posameznika v skupno čredo rojakov, novih znancev in prijateljev. Pri pridigi naj slišijo, da je potovala tudi Sv. Družina, da bi preživela.
Komu je vseeno, ko se izkrca na tuja tla, ali bo dočakan in pozdravljen, ali ne? Kdo ne sliši rad svojo govorico in svojo pesem, ko se prilagaja tujini? In kdo temu največ pripomore, kdo najnaravneje zbira priseljence, jim blagoslavlja trud in jih navaja k skromnosti, če ne pristojna Cerkev, ko odklanja lesk in blesk v zameno za kratkost in duhovnost?
Da, to so imeli pred očmi, kot preroki, svetošte-fanski stavbeniki. Zmenili so se za manjše razsežnosti in preprostejšo notranjost, vendar opremljeno s (podarjenimi) slikami križevega pota. Enako cerkveni kor, ki naj bo vgrajen le za osrednje število pevcev. Za zadnje klopi v sami ladji se je vedelo, da bodo bolj zasedene; zato so iz tršega lesa.
Takšna skromna, vendar solidna zidva je pritegnila prav zaradi svoje preprostosti, oziroma podobnosti slovenskim podeželskim cerkvam; imela je torej “adut” intimnejše božje tišine.
Kot koklia...
Žal (in v čast!), se je, vse to uresničilo. Hitlerjan-sko sovraštvo slovenskega rodu je mnoge izgnalo in prav tako poznejša Titova “demokracija”. Obe sta zmotovilili mladino in jo razsejali po svetu. Dobrohotna Argentina in ponosna Amerika sta storili svoje in zajamčila življenje naši inteligenci. In glej, vsakdo, ki je priromal v Chicago, se je prej ali slej znašel pri Sv. Štefanu. Ta “koklja” je čiv-kaje zvabila naše obetavno, toda neutrjeno brstje pod svoja krila, mu obrnila pogled proti nebu in mu z gorkoto napovedovala uspešno bodočnost.
Te tople peruti niso pozabljene, niso prezrte. Ne morejo biti, saj so se tisoči prerinjali med njenim perjem. Sv. Štefan je krščeval, birmoval, poročal in pokopaval svoje jate z domačimi besedami, češ, naj jih spremlja ob najznačilnejših praznikih njihova materinščina.
Neštetokrat je Štefanov zvon vabil tudi k proslavam in festivalom ob donečih orglah, z veličastnimi hvalnicami...
Tedaj smo prav čutili to
prisrčno hišo božjega veselja, katedralskega navdušenja, da, celo prešernosti. Takrat smo vstajali, čezmerno radostni in ponosni na svoj hram, da slišimo svoj evangelij in da nas prevzamejo psalmi Sv. Duha.
Dragi Sv. Štefan, Tvoje ime je razstrto po vsej Sloveniji; ali so Te res kamenjali kot prvo Jezusovo žrtev in pozabljaš, odpuščaš, veličaš?
Zmagoslavja
Sveti Štefan je vzgajal, učil pokorščine do staršev, vzbujal čut dolžnosti do šolskega pouka in veronauka in s tem krepil družine. Generacije mladega rodu bi bile zatrte, če bi bile ostale živeti pod enoumjem v stari domovini; osnovni odnosi se ne bi bili nikdar razvili. Zato se dogaja v “deželi”, da starši ne morejo nuditi današnjim otrokom verskega duha, saj ga sami pogrešajo.
Sv. Štefan je krepil z obhajili, romanji in zakramenti malodušne, oz. omahujoče, ter bolnike, osamele in prezrte. Božja beseda jih je ganila, jim zvišala zaupanje in vero v zveličavnost, ter jih razbremenila od pretiranih žrtev.
Sv. Štefan ni prosil, niti si posojal. V potu svojega obraza je prirejal shode, kosila in večerje, bingo-igre, da bi izšel iz dolgov, a duhovščina se je zadovoljila z najskromnejšim preživetjem.
Ljudstvo je razumelo težave in delno pokrivalo naraščajoče stroške. Noben naš žep ni bil zmehčan v prid pastirjem, ki nam, seve, nisto tega zamerjali. Ali se vsaj zavedamo take “pravičnosti” in jih bolj čislamo?
Sv. Štefan je domala vse svoje slovenske vernike spremljal do izhoda, do samostojnosti, ko so si odklenili nova stanovanja drugod. Kot ptički iz gnezda so odhajali, z blagoslovom in vabilom za občasne obiske. Niso zaloputnili za seboj, radi se vračajo; ta zvonik jim še vedno najmilije doni.
* Sv. Štefan je oplemenje-val. z negovanjem cerkvenega zbora, ki odgovarja oltarju ob svečanih nastopih, poje Alelujo in Oče naš, ter odpeva litanijam, ter z duhovnimi vajami, ki nam (dalje na sir. 14)

WAUKEGAN, 111. - Ne bi si mogli želeti lepšega dneva kot je bil letos Spominski dan na Triglavskem parku.
V velikem številu smo se zbrali za spominsko mašo in komemoracijo - Triglava-•’ ni in gostje iz Chicaga in okolice. Sv. mašo je daroval naš duhovni vodja dr. Jože Gole, somaševal pa je lanski novomašnik g. Gregor Golobič. Med gosti smo pozdravili tudi g. dr. Kalista Langerholca, ki je bil prvič med nami.
Dr. Gole je v pridigi poudaril pomen Spominskega dneva, in končal z oporozi-lom: Memento mori! Prošnje je prebral, Franjo, spomnil se je sv. očeta, nadškofa dr. Rodeta, in vseh dušnih pastirjev, ki vodijo slovenski narod. Spomnil se je tudi oskrunjene Brezjanske Marije, vseh domobranskih mučencev s škofom Rožmanom, vse naše mladine tukaj in doma, vseh rajnih članov Društva Triglav in vseh‘naših bolnikov. Med mašo je pel Triglavski zbor in z njim cela dvorana.
Po maši je Franjo pozdravil vse navzoče in zbor je zapel Gozdič je že zelen. G. Menčak je recitiral prelepo Kogejevo pesem “V spomin”.
Sledil je govor g. Lojzeta Gregoriča. Spomnil se je vseh pobitih v letih 41, 45, 50 in še čez, ko je pri nas s pomočjo zahodnih zaveznikov zmagala revolucija. Ni prinesla raja na zemlji, pač pa gorje. Začeli so se umori, nastale so Vaške straže in Domobranci. Padel je Turjak, Grčarice, pokoli v Mozlju in Jelendolu...
In potem tistega maja, ko je bila slovenska domobranska vojska izdana in poslana v smrt. Izravnani so bili grobovi na Orlovem vrhu in na Žalah, zasute jame v Rogu in rudniških jaških. Oblastniki so verjeli, da je vse skrito in pozabljeno.
Pa ni tako! Duh je, ki oživlja! Ideja je preživela tirane. Danes je vse jasno -cela Slovenija je polna grobov, čeprav niso okrašeni. Ideja “Bog, narod, domovina” pa bo živela dokler ne bo Slovenija res svobodna,
demokratična država. Vsem mučencem - borcem, ženam, materam, dekletom in otrokom - pa naj velja naš večni spomin in vsa čast!
Naslednja točka v programu je bila recitacija, ki jo je vodil Jože Rus iz Chicaga, s flavto pa jo je spremljal g. Gregor Goršič in naš zbor. Ta recitacija je bila pripravljena prav za našo proslavo. Obsega tri dele -tri pisma: Oče govori mrtvemu sinu, brat piše mrtvemu bratu, in tretje je pismo sina mrtvemu očetu.
V teh pismih je obsežena vsa groza pokolov in smrti med vojsko, zgodba begunstva v tujini, na končal pa še spomini 7-letnega fantička, ki je danes že 55 let star in se pogovarja s svojim ubitim očetom. Spominja se groze, ko je potrkalo na okno, ko je oče še pokrižal otrokein so ga v noči odpeljali v gozd in ga ni videl nikoli več!
Pod zemljo, pod zemljo... je zapel zbor.
Končno, doma se kaže nova zarja. Cena, ki so jo plačali Domobranci, je obrodila sad. Resnica je prišla na dan — čakamo samo še resnične sprave, da bo naša domovina res svobodna in demokratična, ko bomo spet vsi z našimi junaki zapeli “oče, mati...”
S to pesmijo je bila komemoracija v dvorani končana. Šli smo še na “Domobranski grob”, ki je že poln cvetja. Tam smo prižgali svečke in pomolili za njihov pokoj.
Sledilo je kosilo in srečanje z znanci in prijatelji še dolgo v lepo pomladansko popoldne.
Naš prihodnji piknik bo 28. junija, z mašo ob lih. Za plesno glasbo bo poskrbela zelo priljubljena skupina Barbara & Carousels”. Vsi prisrčno vabljeni! M.K.

Opažena in cenjena po svetu: Dubravka Tomšič Srebotnjak
Slovenski pianistiki namenjeno veliko pozornosti v mednarodni reviji Piano & Keyboard
Ljubljana - Slovenska pianistka Dubravka Tomšič Srebotnjak je v zadnjem času doživela nekaj laskavih priznanj. Najprej jo je v svojo marčno in aprilsko številko uvrstila ugledna ameriška mednarodna revija Piano & Keyboard (Klavir in klaviatura, ki izhaja dvomesečno kot dvojna številka. Našo pianistko je objavila že na naslovnici. Tomšičeva pa je spet nastopila tudi v Bostonu, in sicer na jubilejnem koncertu v okviru Bank Boston Celebrity Series, ki je bil v celoti namenjen znanemu impresariju Walterju Pierceu.
Dubravka Tomšič je v reviji Piano & Keyboard predstavljena z dolgim osrednjim tekstom na petih straneh in s kar šestimi fotografijami (dve sta iz najresnejših o-troških let za klavirjem, ena v družbi z Arturjem in Nelo Rubinstein po njenem recitalu v Carnegie Hallu v New Yorku, ena iz obdobja newyorškega študija pri šestnajstih letih, dve pa iz sodobnosti).
Objavljena je tudi njena mednarodna selekcionirana diskografija, dostopna na tujem trgu. Obsega kar dvaindvajset plošč z deli Bacha, Beethovna, Brahmsa, Chopina, Debussyja, Griega, Liszta, Mozarta, Rahmaninova, Saint-Saensa, Scarlattija in Čajkovskega.
Intervju z našo glasbenico je pripravila Marienne Usz-ler in ga naslovila Elegant Ardor (Elegantna gorečnost). Morala ali moto življenjskega uspeha Tomšičeve je, da prave stvari pridejo skupaj, ko morajo priti. Tomšičeva govori o svoji družini, zlasti starših, po katerih je podedovala ljubezen do . glasbe, saj ji je že mati doma igrala na klavir in ji prepevala.
Pri štirih letih je začela igrati tudi sama, pri petih je imela prvi recital. Pri devetih je igrala že Bacha, Mozarta in Beethovna. Ru-binsteinova pa je spoznala po prvi Chopinovi plošči.
Potem pripoveduje znano zgodbo o svojem prvem o-bisku Amerike pri dvanaj-

stih letih. V Angliji je igrala za pianista Arraua, ki je staršem svetoval, da bi študirala v Londonu, Parizu ali New Yorku. Ker je šel oče v New York, je šla za njim in se vpisala na Juilliard, kjer je študirala pri Kathe-rini Bacon. Idol pa ji je bil sloviti Rubinstein. Tako ga je z rožami vedno pričakala po njegovih nastopih.
V Chicagu je debitirala leta 1953, leta 1954 pa v Town Hallu v New Yorku, kjer je dočakala nekaj odličnih kritik. Potem so ji predstavniki družbe Steinway ponudili v uporabo svoj klavir, kolikor dolgo bo ostala v Ameriki.
Z Rubinsteinom se je srečala še enkrat, in tedaj ji je predlagal, da bi jo slišal igrati Tomšičeva pripoveduje, kako ji je pomagal tudi predsednik Tito in kako je imela lekcije pri Rubinstei-nu. Čeprav se tekmovanj ni rada udeleževala, je prejela tretjo nagrado na Busonije-vem tekmovanju v Bolzanu in prvo nagrado na Mozartovem tekmovanju v Bruslju.
Kot ena od redkih glasbenikov priznava, da rada bere kritike. Vendar ji je bolj všeč oziroma prisega na stik z občinstvom, ker je kritika le pogled posameznika na glasbeni dogodek.
Za ameriške bralce bo ta intervju velikega pomena, saj oživlja del preteklosti glasbenega življenja iz petdesetih let, hkrati pa se spominja njenih uspehov iz zadnjega obdobja, ko pogosto nastopa v ZDA (zlasti po letu 1989, ko je nastopila na prestižnem Newport

Music Festivalu). Zatem je med drugim koncertirala v Bostonu, Detroitu, Louisvi-llu, Chicagu, San Franciscu, Kansas Cityju, Baltimoreu, Portlandu in kot vrhunec z dirigentom Seijijem Ozawo v Bostonu in New Yorku (Carnegie Hall).
V Bostonu je Dubravka Tomšič 26. aprila nastopila skupaj s plejado odličnih glasbenikov, kot so prvi flavtist na svetu, nekaj nad sedemdeset let stari Jean-Pierre Rampal, Juilliard String Quartet, mezzosopranistka Johan Morris s pianistom Williamom Bolcomom, pisanist Emanuel Ax, violinist Isaac Stern in violončelist Yo Yo Ma kot trio ...
Tomšičeva je nastopila z Lisztovim Mefistovim valčkom. Navdušena kritika je med drugim zapisala, da ga je zaigrala tako briljantno in z omamno virtuoznostjo, da je v avditoriju kar zagrmelo, in da bo koncert ostal v spominu do konca življenja. Tisk med drugim omenja, da je impresarij Walter Pierce Dubravko Tomšič angažiral, ko v Ameriki še ni bila tako znana, kot je zdaj. Vsem poslušalcem je njena igra takoj segla v srce, piše The Boston Globe.

Pomen Sv. Štefana v Chicagu za slovenstvo
(nadaljevanje s str. 13)
dvigajo misli k Očetu in Materi božji, ko iščejo nebeške bližine in utehe.
Morda se podobno dogaja po drugih cerkvah, vendar z manjšim učinkom. Sv. Štefan zmaguje žrtvujoč samega sebe in svoj obstoj kot slovenska postojanka. Služil bo samo še Američa-
nom.
Zahvala
Kako vztrajno je fara Sv.
Štefana svojo skromnost bogatila z dostojanstvom in kako malo ji je ostalo v rokah, ko so rezultati pokazali njen učinek! Saj je vse razdala, ni česar zatajila. Poko-lenja so vzgojena v naprednem krščanstvu; vsa naša gmota je izobražena tudi v poklicih; vsi so daleč od revščine, nemorale in enoumne teme; dve generaciji sta rešeni. Ali je pri tem ostal Sv. Štefan praznih rok?
Ne, on žanje najširšo hvaležnost “dežele” in njene emigracije. Ta priznanja ne bodo pošla, morajo se zabeležiti; brali jih bodo in s seboj primerjali novejši naraščaji. Sv. Štefan postaja pojem prehoden iz roda v rod. Gojil je družabnost, se pravi ljubezen do bližnjega; utrjeval je slovensko molitev in posvečeval v slovenščini.
Spodbujal je petje na koru, tudi pri najmanjši udeležbi pevcev, ker dvakrat moli, kdor pobožno poje. Priporočal je tudi in nudil prostor našim kulturnim tiram, ki so vselej vključevale verski navdih. Zbiral je tudi ženska društva in navajal na skupne molitve rožnega venca, ter širše češčenje Matere božje. Toplo nam je priporočal poglobljene misli v duhovnih vajah in organiziral molitvene sestanke večjih razsežnosti.
Vse to nam dviga podobo Sv. Štefana kot velikega cerkvenega in domoljubnega
prijatelja, zaščitnika, svetnika. Slovenski rod je obogatel ob tolikih darovih, težko mu je izraziti polno mero hvaležnosti. Sv. Štefan na® je pomenil božjo roko, P°' nuj eno o pravem času in v prave namene. Pomagal nam je - po Gregorčičevi prerokbi - vstati kot narod “do danes v prah teptan in odložiti pepel. Sv. Štefan, ostani nam zavetnik ter s' pridruži Barago in Slomška.

V Ur ^ lja na Mt-
veliki četrtek, 9. aprila 1998, je Bog poklical k sebi sestro M. Egidijo Koprivšek, staro 83 let. Na velikonočni ponedeljek, 13. aprila, je bila po pogrebni maši položena k večnemu počitku na pokopališču Sv. Alfonza v Lemontu, v oddelku za Šolske sestre sv. Frančiška Kristusa Kralja. V Koprivškovi družini je bilo sedem otrok, od teh štirje še živijo.
Vsa družina, z očetom na čelu, je bila glasbeno nadarjena. Tudi s. Egidija se je posvetila glasbi in je na postojankah v farnih šolah poleg šolskih predmetov učila glasbo in bila v cerkvi or-ganistinja in voditeljica zborov. Njeni bratje so tudi delovali na cerkvenih korih, tako je njen brat Jerry več let vodil zbor pri Sv. Cirilu v New Yorku (žal, je zaradi bolezni sedaj v nursing home).
Sestra Egidija naj tudi v nebesih poje slavo Bogu in prosi za nove poklice. Sestram na Mt. Assisi naše iskreno sožalje.
Mnogi ste v tem času poravnali naročnino, nekateri tudi za več let. Bog plačaj! Včasih se nam vrine napaka, zato prosimo, da sporočite, da bomo popravili. Za vse darove: pomoč listu, za Cerkev in samostan, semenišče, se iskreno zahvaljujemo. Lučke pri Mariji Pomagaj, ki ste jih naročili, zvesto prižigamo, prav jih tako bomo v juniju y čast Srcu Jezusovemu. Posebej še zahvala naših misijonarjev za “dar misijonom”.
Naš čebelar Joseph je zelo pohvalil čebele, da pridno nosijo med in da se obeta dobra letina. Zato upamo, da bo dovolj medu za medeni piknik, ki bo, kakor vsako leto, zadnjo nedeljo avgusta, letos 30. Že vnaprej se priporočamo za obisk in za nabavo srečk.
Slovenska župnija Sv. Štefana v Chicagu letos obhaja stoletnico obstoja. Farani pripravljajo veliko slovesnost, v nedeljo, 7. junija, tako v cerkvi, kot v dvorani - kosilo in program. Pričakujejo, da bo slovesno sv. mašo daroval chicaški nadškof kardinal Francis George.
To bo zahvalna maša za vse milosti in dobrine, ki so jih farani prejemali vsa ta leta. Obenem bo zahvala vsem, ki so na kakršenkoli način delovali v župniji, zlasti vsem duhovnikom, živim in rajnim, sestram, ki so skrbele za šolo in lepoto cerkve, organistom in pevcem za lepoto božje službe, za vse, ki so z molitvijo in gmotno podporo podpirali cerkev, da je lepo uspevala.

Karel Smolle zopet član avstrijskega parlamenta
Interesi koroških Slovenci zopet bodo neposredni zastopani
Karel Smolle bo najmapj deset mesecev zastopal Enotno listo v avstrijskem državnem zboru.
Hans Peter Haselsteiner od Liberalnega foruma je sporočil javnosti, da bo iz poklicnih razlogov pustil mirovati svoj državnozborski mandat. To pomeni, da mandata ni dokončno oddal. Ker mu mandat miruje, lahko po svoji želji v tej zakonodajni dobi svojo poslansko funkcijo spet izvršuje. Vendar je Haselsteiner poudaril, da se bo vsaj v naslednjih 10 mesecih odpovedal nalogi državnega poslanca.
Na osnovi partnerske pogodbe med EL in LIF ob zadnjih državnozborskih volitvah (1995) bo Haselsteiner-ja nadomestil Karol Smolle. Za Enotno listo je to izredno velik uspeh. Kot je znano, je EL podpisala po-

V nedeljo, 3. maja, je chicaški nadškof kardinal Francis George obiskal našo cerkev Marije Pomagaj, ko se je v Slovenskem kulturnem centru udeležil praznovanja obletnice sosednje župnije Sv. Jakoba.
Tretja nedelja v juniju je v tej deželi posvečena očetom. Zato slovenski frančiškani želimo vsem očetom, atkom in dedkom vse dobro in božji blagoslov njim in njihovim družinam - Happy Father’s Day!	■

godbo z LIF samo pod pogojem, da ima status samostojnega pogodbenega partnerja in da je njen kandidat Karel Smolle odgovoren Enotni listi.
V pogovoru z Našim tednikom je predsednik EL Andrej VVakounig izrazil svoje veliko zadovoljstvo nad tem, da “bo v dunajskem parlamentu lahko spet koroški Slovenec zastopal naše interese:.
Wakounig:	“Izkazalo se
je, da je bila partnerska pogodba z LIF pravilna odločitev. Že doslej smo videli, da so poslanci LIF bili dosleden parlamentarni posrednik naših političnih želja. Še posebej velja to za državnega poslanca Kiera. S tem, da bo sedaj zastopal v parlamentu naše interese tudi Karel, Smolle, so postale možnosti še večje. Predvsem od nas bo odvisno, ali jih bomo znali čimbolj izkoristiti.”
VVakounig je poudaril, da bo takoj prišlo do delovnega pogovora med EL in Karlom Smollejem. To je v pogovoru z Našim tednikom poudaril tudi Karel Smolle. Poleg tega hoče Smolle u-skladiti svoje parlamentarno delo še z ostalimi narodnimi skupnostmi oz. dunajskim CAN. Odprto pa je tudi vprašanje, katera so
nadaljnja področja, ki jih bo pokrival za LIF. K temu ni hotel kaj podrobnejšega reči.
Na vprašanje, katere manjšinskopolitične zadeve bodo imele v državnem zboru prioriteto, je VVakounig odgovoril: “Ena od prioritet bo gotovo vprašanje dvojezičnih vrtcev oz. predšolske vzgoje. Veliko pozornost bo treba nameniti tudi vprašanju temeljnega zaščitnega zakona.”
Nadaljnjo prioriteto bo po besedah predsednika EL predstavljalo vprašanje demokratičnega sestava sosveta. Andrej VVakounig: “Gre predvsem za to, da se upoštevajo določila zakona o narodnih skupnostih. Ta namreč določa, da morajo biti politične stranke zastopane v sorazmerju njihove zasidranosti v narodni skupnosti. Trenutno pa je tako, da EL nima nobenega zastopnika, medtem ko imajo svobodnjaki kar dva.”

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
1235. Oglasil se je misijonar Lovro Tomažin.
Rev. dr. Pavel Krajnik je prejel sledeče pismo od misijonarja p. Lovreta Tomažina, ki deluje v Zambiji. Pismo je zelo zanimivo:
“Dragi Pavle! Po dolgem času se ti oglašam, pa ne misli, da sem te pozabil, ne. Krajnikova družina mi je vedno v lepem spominu, posebno vaša mama, katero večkrat omenjam kot zgled, ko vodim duhovne vaje, kot žene globoke vere in zaupanja v Boga.
Se ne spomnim, če sem ti pisal, da sem bil pred dobrimi dvemi leti prestavljen na podeželski misijon Mumbwa, ki je 150 km zahodno od glavnega mesta Lusake. Ta kraj, Mumbwa z okolico, imenujem misijon, ker so prebivalci v bistvu še pogani, čeprav jih je kakih 2.000 krščenih, a večina ni bilo pokristjanjenih. Misijon ima 24 postojank in nekaj od njih so zelo daleč od centralne postojanke Mum-bwe, ena celo 160 km. Naredim, kar se da, drugo pa prepustim božjemu usmiljenju.
Tole, kar sledi, sem pisal našim v Argentino. Mama je še pri življenju in bo, če Bog da, 4. maja izpolnila 94 let. Je še kolikor toliko pri zdravju in gre k dnevni maši, če ima koga, ki jo spremlja.
Pišem 15. aprila 1998. Med tem ni bilo časa za pisanje, ker sem bil natrpan z delom za veliki teden. Tu kratek opis mojega delovanja za pripravo in izpeljavo velikega tedna.
Začelo še je na prvi petek, z adoracijo, spokornim bogoslužjem, spovedovanjem in sv. mašo. Na ta dan v mesecu pridejo z bližnjih postojank žene laičnih organizacij in tu prespijo, zato imamo zvečer duhovno obnovo in naslednji dan zgo-
daj zjutraj začnemo z jutranjo molitvijo, premišljevanjem, sv. mašo in kratkim sestankom. Nato pride mladina iz Mumbwe na verski pouk.
Isti dan popoldne smo imeli za vernike iz Mumbwe duhovno obnovo, spokorno bogoslužje, križev pot in med tem sem spovedoval in zaključili smo s sv. mašo.
Na cvetno nedeljo v Mumbwi ob 8.30 blagoslovitev oljk, procesija, nato sv. maša. Končali smo ob 10.30 in nato sem šel na neko postojanko, kjer so se zbrali iz štirih bližnjih postojank. Že zgodaj zjutraj je šel tja katehist in imel spokorno bogoslužje. Ko sem sam prišel tja ob 11.30 je bilo spovedovanje, blagoslov oljk in nato sv. maša. Končali smo ob 2. uri.
Na veliki četrtek smo nadaljevali z obredi v Mumbwi: spovedovanja, umivanje nog, sv. maša in adoracija. Na veliki petek sem prepustil v Mumbwi obrede svojemu sobratu Poljaku, katehist pa je vodil križev p6t. Sam sem šel na eno drugo postojanko, kjer so se zbrali verniki iz treh postojank ob 12h. Zopet spokorno bogoslužje, spovedovanje, križev pot, nato obredi velikega petka. Dobre tri ure in pol napornega dela.
Na veliko soboto priprave za velikonočno vigilijo, vaje, spovedovanje, nato obredi velikonočne vigilije. Med tem smo imeli tudi krst otrok; odrasli niso bili pripravljeni.
Na veliko nedeljo je imel sv. mašo v Mumbwi moj sobrat, sam pa sem šel ob 7.30 na neko postojanko, kjer so se zbrali verniki iz štirih bližnjih postojank vzhodno od Mumbwe, nato pa sem šel na drugo postojanko, kjer so se zbrali ver-

niki iz dveh postojank zahodno od Mumbwe. Tam ni bilo sv. maše celih štirih mesecev zaradi deževne dobe. Zopet spokorno bogoslužje, spovedovanje in nato slovesna velikonočna sv. maša. Domov sem prišel ob 2. uri, malo pojedel, malo se odpočil in nato v Lusako, kamor sem prišel zvečer. Bil sem vesel in srečen, da je vse kar lepo izpadlo in da je bilo tega slavja konec.
Tole pismo zaključim na belo nedeljo, 19. aprila. Danes ob 7. uri sem šel na oddaljeno postojanko, Ka-renda. Sama po sebi ni tako daleč, 42 km, a ker je pot tako slaba, je res daleč. Vožnja v vsako stran je trajala eno uro in 50 minut in je neprestano treslo. Oni Vidmarjev pas mi je odlično pomagal.
Tam sem imel sv. mašo zadnjič v oktobru lani. V deževni dobi je pot neprevozna. Celotno bogoslužje je trajalo 3 ure in pol. Imeli smo spokorno bogoslužje, spovedovanje in nato obred katehumenata, nato poroko, krst malih otrok in seveda sv. mašo. Verniki so bili zelo veseli. Po slovesnosti so nas: mene, katehista in dva ministranta, ki sta šla z menoj, lepo pogostili s koruzno polento in piščancem v omaki. Naporen dan, imel sem tudi visok krvni pritisk, a sem srečen, da sem tem ubogim revežem v veri posredoval božje usmiljenje in milost.
Pavle, kako je s teboj? Kako vsi Vaši:	sestre in
drugi? Tebe in vse Vaše lepo pozdravljam in se vam priporočam v molitev. Vaš v Gospodu Lovro Tomažin.”
Hvala Vam, g. Krajnik, za to bogato pismo. Naj Marija varuje dobrega misijonarja, ki je v skrbeh za svoje ovčice in gre čez drn in strn, da jih rešuje. Bog mu daj zdravja, ne previsokega pritiska!

Kitajska nagrada dr. Janezu Janezu
Tri obletnice velikega misijonarja
Ljubljana - “Kolikokrat v življenju sem občutil, da je Bog vsako dobro odločitev stoterno poplačal. Ne z denarjem, ampak s srečo in zadovoljstvom, da sem lahko p°' magal, zdravje vrnil, druge osrečeval.” Besede, ki imajo v letošnjem najlepšem - Marijinem mesecu še posebno vrednost. Izrekel jih je, tako kot jih je pol stoletja tudi ži‘ vel, prvi slovenski laiški misijonar - zdravnik dr. JaneZ Janež.
Dve usodni odločitvi, trije majski datumi so zaznamovali njegovo življenjsko pot.
28. maja 1937 je promoviral na medicinski fakulteti v Gradcu. Kdo bi takrat pomislil, da bo mladi, nadalje111 zdravnik, nekdanji dijak klasične gimnazije v Škofovih z3-vodih, ponesel ime neznane Slovenije v svet na peruti ljubezni do sočloveka: “Imaš samo to, kar daš!”
28. maja 1945, na postajo v Pliberku se zgrinjaj0 množice beguncev, ki jih zavezniki vračajo v domovino vlaki pa vozijo v smrt. S skokom v njivo rži, kamor je rešil, se je začela zgodba Janeževe ljubezni: “Šest u( sem ležal nepremično v rži, se popolnoma umiril in Pre j mišljeval. Spomnil sem se, da je ta dan obletnica ®°J doktorske promocije, da sem vedno sanjal o Kitajski. Ra zumel sem, da mi je vse podarjeno. In v rži sem skleO vse to podariti misijonom.” In Bog je blagoslovil njeg°v odločitev, da postane kruh ljubezni bolnim in trpečim-
Dve leti ovir in težav, vztrajnosti in odločnosti in delja, 23. maj 1948, je bil dan, ki ga je naredil Gosp0^ V Buenos Airesu so se Slovenci poslovili od odlifry zdravnika, specialista in vzornega Slovenca, ki se je čil za pot žrtve. “Kot zdravnik sem vedno iskal le v «e za bližnjega svoje edino življenjsko srečo,” je z glob® resnobnostjo pozdravil prijatelje, sprejel misijonski kri* 24. maja ga je ladja odpeljala med njegove drage KitaJ _ Vse do smrti 11. oktobra 1990 je med njimi razdaj svoje veliko znanje in neizmerno ljubezen.

Fan - nesmrtni Feniks.	, .
Da ga njegovi bolniki še niso pozabili, priča v svoj ^ pismu g. Andreju Majcnu, starosti slovenskih misijonar) predstojnik kamilijancev na Tajvanu, p. Antonio Did° ^ 18. aprila letos je država Tajvan v Taipeju podelila grado v spomin na dr. Janeza Janeža. V imenu nie®° ~ sodelavcev jo je sprejel p. Felice Check. Že osem let y deljujejo nagrado junak leta najboljšim zdravnikom . največjim dobrotnikom Tajvana. Letos, osem let po srD je to nagrado za življenjsko delo med kitajskim naro1 ^ prejel Slovenec dr. Janez Janež, misijonar ljubezni. O , gradi in misijonarju so se razpisali tudi tajvanski časH in revije, država pa je izdala brošuro o njegovem ^ . nju in delu.	A.D. Družina, 31. majo ™
